Sergey Markedonov on Eurasian states’ role in ensuring security
Sergey Markedonov, Leading Research Fellow at MGIMO’s Institute for International Studies, discusses approaches to ensuring security in Eurasia.

Key points from the speech
Sergei Markedonov noted that major changes in the international order also occurred in previous decades, arguing that the idea of a “changing world” needs to be understood in its historical context.
On Eurasian security, he stressed the independent role of the region’s states and contrasted this approach with a model in which an external “balancer” sets the rules.
